I picked up some Nintendo breath mints the other day. They came in a tin that looked like an original NES controller.
Ok - back on topic: If you are sick of seeing these characters in games then close your eyes. They are some of the oldest and fondest characters in Video Games and I hope they continue to be seen in more and more releases. I am sad that we don't see Pac-Man and Q-Bert really any more.
Don't even get me started on poor Sonic.
